ZincAlloy:
Ipod Video port comes with Unifont version now.
psycho_maniac:
I added the unifont version to all the to-do lists tables. If you dont think that a unifont version will work for a certin screen you can just remove it.
yapper:
A quick update on the 160x128 greyscale wps:
Unifont won't work (it's too big) - DejaVuSans does work (and looks better than Helv to me). Is DejaVuSans considered to be significantly better than Helv in terms of usefullness?
8 step volume is possible
I'm thinking of dropping the logo and using the extra width to make the icons larger (and making the shuffle/repeat icons more like the 'standard' Cabbie - currently they don't match due to the limited number of pixels). Any changes probably won't be done before the weekend though.

--- Quote from: Christine Tham on December 11, 2007, 07:10:20 PM ---Just another quick note on the font issue. It's important to choose not just a Unicode font, but I personally think East Asian language support is desirable, so the Unicode font needs to support CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters.
As an example, even though DejaVu is a Unicode font family, it does not support CJK.
Extract from the language coverage file for DejaVu:
ja Japanese (0/6538) (0/6538) (0/6538)
ko Korean (0/2443) (0/2443) (0/2443)
zh-cn Chinese (simplified) 0% (2/6765) 0% (2/6765) 0% (2/6765)
zh-hk Chinese Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set (0/2213) (0/2213) (0/2213)
zh-mo Chinese in Macau (0/13063) (0/13063) (0/13063)
zh-sg Chinese in Singapore 0% (2/6765) 0% (2/6765) 0% (2/6765)
zh-tw Chinese (traditional) (0/13063) (0/13063) (0/13063)
--- End quote ---
So out of curiosity, would it be possible to use a font like DejaVuSans and then "fill in the gaps" (CJK) with a font like Unifont (assuming they were the same size), thereby making a new, complete font with good looking latin characters?
This whole business about making two versions of each wps seems like a lot of work and a bit of a messy solution. Especially because if a complete, good-looking font showed up, it would negate the need for two versions. But who am I to say that, it's not like I'm porting any wps's.
lazka:
here is a preview version of dejavu with chinese simple/trad and japanese support. korean needs to be done.
thank python for the merging magic ;)
The merged font is the "firefly" bitmap version, which is GPL (http://www.study-area.org/apt/firefly-font/). There is also a better version of it available but is now under "ARPHIC PUBLIC LICENSE" which isn't GPL compatible. (with 10% more characters... so.. not a big deal) http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts
